My problem is that when I have my feet up on the ottoman and someone wearing
shorts or a lab coat come up and rubbing the edge of the cloth my toes. It
will send a shock up my leg and making my foot spasm. Then want to know why
I'm afraid of people coming up to me.

Sally it's hypersensitivity to touch, or things that hurt that shouldn't

description though. If you stuck a pin in me, I might not feel it but if
you rubbed a cotton wool ball over me ever so gently it would cause unbearable
pain, which is why my clothes hurt me so much. Going nude isn't an option
either because a bit of a breeze, a splash of water, an animal rubbing past,
all creators of bloody pain.
The pain itself is the freeze/burn that you would have heard us speak of
often.

I've looked up 'allodynia', but still don't really understand it. I've
never heard of it before, and now 3 of you have just mentioned it. Can you
give me an example of how it works?
